Yes, this extravaganza of talent development is taking place on Wednesday 30 June and Thursday 1 July. The students will find out this week which of their chosen workshops they have been placed in.
Earlier in the term, the students were surveyed to find out what talent they would like to explore/develop in a DOT workshop. This information was used by staff to determine exactly what they would offer the students.
The workshop leaders are planning fantastic opportunities from Being Spartacus, indulging in Football Fever, Having a Ball (the Venetian kind) and Broadcasting to the Nation. All the workshop blurbs are displayed in the library if you would like to have a look at them.
Some workshops plan to go off-site. These students will bring home a letter this week with information, request for parent help and a permission slip to return. Other workshops will also be making requests for materials and pairs of hands.
Encourage your children to dress “in role” for their workshop.
Annie Mills has a particular request…
‘I am looking for helpers who enjoy communication to help run the “Broadcast Yourself” workshop during the upcoming DOT Days. We will be using the Garage Band software programme to create pod casts. Experience with Garage Band is not essential, as long as you are reasonably confident with computers. I could use help on both days (June 30 and July 1) or for part of that time. If you are interested, please contact me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Kia Ora!’
